Maybe You Heard

(Kris Kristofferson)



Maybe you've heard your ole buddy's gone crazy

Searching for words too deep sweet reason and rhyme

Livin' alone more and more and he's prone to be lazy

Turnin' to stone blasted and blind.



Don't turn away there hey god-damn you it was your brother

Turn on your father sister mother brother he was your friend

Don't you condemn him leave it to strangers

You oughta know him give him a hand if you can

But at least for Jesus Christ's sake understand him.

Maybe you've heard that they say that the lady's been changin'

Day after day more than her mind

Learnin' to play where the part has her turning to strangers

Goin' too far line after line.



Don't turn away there hey god-damn you it was your brother

Turn on your father sister mother brother he was your friend

Don't you condemn him leave it to strangers

You oughta know him give him a hand if you can

But at least for Jesus Christ's sake understand him...
